Information Systems in Management Science—A Prospectus for Future Columns
Abstract
THE BULLETIN has recently taken on a new form. It was expanded to include articles and columns concerned with the operational problems in using Management Science. The move of this column from Management Science, where it was first published in 1967, prompted me to review its contents and plan a change in its format.
I find the columns have followed no pre-set pattern. When unsolicited material was available, it was used, and other topics were selected on the basis of interest to me. Although much of the material still seems relevant, this style leaves some topics undiscussed while others are beaten to death. It also makes it difficult to solicit material.
Below are listed a number of topics which will be discussed in later columns. By publishing this list, I have put myself under an obligation to write on a wider range of topics, while giving the reader an opportunity to write on any of the subjects which interest him, as well as to add to the list of potential topics.
